That's not...

Oh, OK. Here in Ottawa, ON, Canada, we've had about a week of 25-30C
already... Definitely unseasonal.

About 300 m/s or 1000 km/h which in SR would be 1000/1.2 ~= 900

Yeah?
*whips out The Shop, fiddles for a moment*
OK:
"Shop v1.26"
"Fast Bike"
"Racing Cycle"
"Gasoline"
"ab"
"o"
0,0,0,0,0
153,"Speed Increase"
0,"Smart Materials"
7,"Engine Customization"
7,"Engine Customization: Speed"
6,"Nitrous Oxide Injectors"
1,"Increased Cargo Space"
4,"Turbocharging"

Cruising Speed of 543, Top Speed of 815, with Nitrous you can get 1358.

Not too shabby... :-)

You must have a Sun or HP or other big name box then... We had HP9000
servers at one place I worked and they took 30+ minutes to reboot.
Sick. My linux box boots in a couple of minutes.
